Yukino practically skipped into the guild, cheerfully greeting everyone in the building. She held something clasped to her chest. It was red and wrapped with ribbon, but the real telling factor was the distinctive heart shape of the package.
"Who's that from?" Her friends were all over her in an instant, glaring suspiciously at the heart shaped package. It was, unsurprisingly, Sting who had spoken first.
Flushing a dark red, the silver haired celestial mage clasped the box to her chest, "It's nothing at all! Please go away."
Sting made a move to take the box but Yukino twisted out of his grip.
Rogue grabbed the box before Yukino could register his presence. She squeaked and jumped to retrieve it, but the shadow dragon slayer handed it to Orga, who easily held it out of the smaller woman's reach.
"It doesn't say who it's from," Orga reported dutifully.
"Give it here," Sting demanded.
Yukino squeaked out a protest, knowing that if anyone else could be able to figure out who it was from, it would be Sting.
Orga handed the red cardboard box the Sabertooth's guild master. Yukino made a desperate attempt to snatch the box back. Sting jumped back out of her reach.
"Please give it back, Sting-sama!" Yukino cried, brilliant red staining her cheeks.
"I'm sorry Yukino," Rogue told her solemnly. She spun to face him, "But as your guild mates, it is our duty to protect you, and that includes... questioning... potential suitors."
"Rogue-sama!" Yukino protested, "It's not like that! We're just friends..."
Rufus chose this moment to interrupt, "As I remember, friends don't normally buy their friends heart shaped chocolates."
"Especially chocolate that expensive," Orga said. Everyone paused to look at him incredulously.
"What?" He frowned, "I've had girlfriends before!"
Rufus cleared his throat, "And also, if it's just friendly, then why wasn't there a name put on the chocolates?"
Yukino fiddled with the hem of her skirt, regretting her decision to bring the chocolates in to eat at the guild. She should have known that her guild mates would go 'over protective brother' on her.
"No way!" Sting cried, "That dirty... thinking he can just go and swoop in on MY guild members!"
"Who was it, Sting?" Rogue questioned, his tone of voice dangerous.
"NATSU-SAN!" Sting shouted, beginning to stomp towards the guild doors. Some of the newer recruits dived out of the enraged dragon slayer's path. Rogue silently spun and followed after his more rambunctious partner.
Rufus and Orga shared a look out of the corner of their eyes and walked off after the Twin Dragons. Yukino stared after the four men in horror as they started out the doors and down the street, presumably towards the train station... and Magnolia.
"You might want to head out if you don't want them to murder your little boyfriend," Minerva chimed from her seat in the corner of the guild. She blew on her painted nails.
Yukino took her advice and ran.
Natsu threw the chair he held at Gajeel. The wooden seat flew in a graceful arc through the air until it crashed into the back of Elfman's head.
"That is not MAN!" The middle Strauss roared, having been knocked forward into a table.
"You got in my way!" Natsu groaned, "I was trying to hit the iron bastard!"
"What the hell are you sayin' Salamander?!" Gajeel stood up, slamming his hands on his table.
"I'm sayin' that I threw a chair at you, idiot! Learn to freaking listen!" Natsu yelled back, "You paid off Gramps to not let me on any more missions for a week!"
"He did that all on his own, moron!" Gajeel cocked his fist back, "Cause you and your team can't stop destroying crap!"
"Say that to my face!" Natsu ran at the iron dragon slayer, lighting up his fist.
Gajeel vaulted over his table and threw a punch at Natsu, "I just freakin' did!"
The doors slammed open before Natsu could get a hit in. Sting stood in the doorway, panting heavily as if he'd run several miles. Rogue, Rufus, and Orga all fanned out behind the white dragon-slayer, looking as they had the first time they'd appeared in the Grand Magic Games. Dangerous and maybe a little evil.
"Is everything alright?" Mirajane asked, concern evident in her voice.
"No," Sting growled, still panting heavily. His eyes narrowed in on Natsu, "Leave Yukino alone!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Natsu exclaimed.
"The chocolates! You aren't going to be trying anything on our guild mate!" Sting pointed his finger at the fire dragon-slayer accusingly.
"Oh yeah!" Natsu grinned, "Did she like them?"
"That's not the point!" Sting raged. He leaped forward, throwing a kick at Natsu. Natsu blocked with his forearm and swept Sting's feet from under him.
Sting recovered quickly, landing on his hands and springing back to his feet. While Natsu was preoccupied by the blond mage, Rogue dematerialized and raced across the floor of the guild, rising back up behind Natsu.
The fire dragon slayer ducked under Rogue's punch just in time. Rogue's hit missed hitting Sting instead by a narrow margin.
Orga summoned a ball of lightning between his hands and aimed it at Natsu.
He was rammed to the ground.
Yukino appeared behind the fallen god-slayer, wide eyed and panting. A pink dusting took up residence on her face with the sight of Natsu.
"Oh hey Yukino!" Natsu called cheerfully, dodging a hit from Sting, "Did you like the chocolates I sent you? Sorry if they were a little singed!"
Yukino marched forward, the pink on her cheeks spreading and intensifying as she went. She pushed through the attacks that her team mates sent at the Fairy Tail mage. The backed off, protesting, as soon as she got into the way.
Their protests swiftly cut off.
Yukino grabbed Natsu by the edges of his vest and pulled his mouth to hers. His eyes widened momentarily, his hands flying up from his sides. He relaxed soon, and closed his eyes, resting his hands on Yukino's shoulders.
Sting and Rogue fell backwards, their souls flying out of their mouths.
Yukino broke the kiss, breathless and a shade of scarlet that was previously unknown to man.
The guild, who'd previously been shocked into silence, burst into conversation.
"Natsu actually sent her a valentine!"
"Juvia is so excited! Congratulations Yukino-san! Juvia is glad that you are no longer pursuing Gray-sama!"
"Does this mean Salamander isn't actually as oblivious as we thought?!"
"Natsu and YUKINO?! Who would have guessed!?"
"God damn! We all lost the NaLu bet!"
Yukino turned to her stunned guild mates. Sting and Rogue had recovered for the most part, but were watching the pair in stunned silence.
"Natsu-sama and I are free to do as we please," Yukino declared, "I know that you're just trying to protect me, and I appreciate it! But I can make my own decisions, and Natsu-sama makes me happy, so I won't let you attack him!"
Natsu grinned and threw his arm around Yukino's shoulders, "So you did like the chocolate!"
A/N: Natsu you loveable idiot. Anyway, these are random crack pairing one shots in honor of Valentines day. I wrote this one first since NaYu has a weird special place in my heart. If you have any pairing recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Next up is LaharxLucy because I can if I want to.
